Delicious Variety

During my stay at Papillon Lagoon Reef, the food was simply excellent! Each meal offered a variety that exceeded my expectations. The buffet selections were fresh and always well-presented. My absolute favorite was the themed BBQ night, which was not only fun but delicious. The breakfast spread was impressive too, with options ranging from continental to traditional dishes. I never went hungry!

Comfortable and Clean

I had a fantastic experience with the room features at Papillon Lagoon Reef. The accommodations were spacious and clean, with excellent daily housekeeping service. I appreciated the air conditioning, which kept the room cool during the warm days. The room also had a safe for valuables, which gave me extra peace of mind.

Relaxing Spa Experience

I indulged in the spa services offered at the hotel, and it was a highlight of my trip! The massages were heavenly, and the prices were incredibly reasonable. It was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. The ambiance of the spa added to the relaxation experience, and I left feeling rejuvenated.

Fun for Kids

As a family traveler, I was delighted to find that Papillon Lagoon Reef had several children’s amenities that kept my kids entertained. The large pool was perfect, and the toddler splash area was a hit with my little one. The staff were attentive and made sure my children had a wonderful time swimming and playing around.
